Talk:siili

Declination
The word "siili" is historically an e-stem word, just as "käsi" etc. Thus, it should be declined as

Siili siilen siiltä

Just as

Käsi käden kättä

The declination pattern given is that of "siili - siilin" < from germ "sieve". JouHey (talk) 16:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * How you think it 'should' be declined is different to how people actually decline it. Besides, it's inflected as an i-stem in Estonian, which is where Finnish got the word from. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 18:10, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
